In summing up years experience with the prohibitory law in Atlanta it is stated that it is working we'll there, because for one reason it is rich mans law directed against the poor. That is to say, the well-to-do can stock their cellars and drink all they choose, but the poor cannot take their small earnings to bar and get casual glass of whiskey. Hence there is less drunkenness on the street.
 The Charleston News and Courier is not yet entirely reconstructed. It says: We had good reason for saying that there was nothing reasonable in the secession of the southern States; that no confederate obeying the mandate of his State was rebel or a traitor; and that this mighty truth begins to shine out, even in the midst of the darkness which has enveloped the constitution since the civil war, which was begun for revenue, continued in hate, and closed in military conquest, social rapine and political disease. In the southern cities the mortality among the negroes is very great, and it has been suggested that sanitation and hygiene be taught in the colored schools. This sugges- ton moves the New Orleans Times-Democ1at to say: The quacks who fleece the negroes with their nostrums and poison many thou. l sands of them should be punished by the State and their practice stopped. The schools should teach the negroes hygiene | the pioneer at least of sanitation-as well as arithmetic and orthography, and the eolored l ministers should be used in preaching from the pulpit the necessity for following the 1 first rules of health The crusade should be begun at once. With the close relations existing between the whites and negroes ir 1 the South, with the latter acting as cooks
 nurses, washerwomen, caring for our needs
 and our children, the health of the whole
 white community is in danger when we allow
 the immense mass of the negro population tt
 breed consumption. smallpox and host O
 kindred diseases, because they know nothing
 of sanitation, refuse to consult a physician
 and depend on quacks.

The Anarchist Spies Marries Miss Van zandt.

Chicago Telegram Feb. 1.-The announce
ment is made that August Spies and Miss
Nina Van Zandt have been married by
proxy, the groom being represented by his
brother. When Sheriff Matson issued the
order to. the officials of the county Jail
not to admit Miss Van Zandt to
see Spies, it was enormously thought that
the matter was settled. The law about
marrying by letter and marriages by proxy
was looked up, but nothing was found ex-
cept in regard to marriage by proxy.
This was decided upon, and Justice Engle-
hardt, in the town of Jefferson, who
had denounced the verdict oil the anarch-
ist trial in public speeches. was consulted.
he ave it as his opinion that a mar
riage by proxy would be binding in law, il
the proxy was made out in due legal form.
He was commissioned to draw up a form
OF a proxy and spent considerable time
in making it conform to what he
thought was the law in the case. The docu-
ment was ready last Friday. Early Saturl
day Miss Van Zandt and Gretchen Spies,
sister OF August Spies, went out to Jeffer-
SON., secured the proxy from Justice Engle-
hardt, and went direct to ~thecounty Jail with
it. They met the wife Of Spies brother, Fer
dinand and a Mrs. Wendland. Miss Van
Zandt's three companions witnessed the
signature ofSpies to the document, by which
he gave full authority to his brother. Henry
w. Spies, to represent him at the ceremony.
Mrs. Ferdinand Spies and Miss Gretchen
Spies signed the paper to witness August

In thu house OF representatives a

Mr.. N. o. Nelson, a prominent man.

of 5 per cent. on salaries to employees,

tached to his article than by the general

sensational article, which was entitled
'war in sight. ',t !
The New York Sun publishes an editorial

it says: ~
Why should a leading article in a Berlin
newspaper produce a panic on every stock

in question, the Berlin Post, is Bismarck's

the public; because the war of 1870 was
ushered in with just such a newspaper fus-

the chancellor to fix responsibility for the

Knox county, Ind, who was guilty OF
the weakness OF abstracting $50, 600
of the county's money, and thought
the air OF Canada would suit his
health, has come back to his old home
with the remark that he would rather
be in a place whose existence is a mat
ter OF religious controversy than be a
fugitive longer. In mitigation OF
punishment, Hollingsworth might use
the words of an Arkansas man who
pleaded guilty of crime, but claimed
that amidst his criminal career, his
heart always beat warmly for his
native land.

JULES vBRNE,s GREAT STORY.

On the 10th of July the Journal will begin
the publication of new novel by Jules
Verne, entitled North and South, Story of
Love and War" The romance is based upon
the late civil war in the United States, a sub
ject which, curiously enough, has not been
used by any American novelist, save in an
incidental way. A correspondent of the
Journal gives an interesting account in
another column of the circumstances which
led this French writer to take up the topic.
Whether the French writer will give his fancy
the free play which has made some of his
tales the marvelously entertaining creations
they are, or whether he will adhere strictly
to known facts in his treatment of the vast
material at his command, is matter for each
reader to decide upon personally. In any case,
it is certain that the story will be of absorb
ing interest, and of character superior to a
great majority of current fiction. The story
will run for several months, and will appear
in both the Sunday and weekly editions of
the Journal

POSSIBILITIES OF ORGANIZATION.

Everybody organizes in these days. Capt.
talists unite for mutual protection against the
encroachments of labor; labor organizes
against capital. Each profession becomes an
association for the promotion of its special
interests. Doctors, lawyers, preachers-each
class has its own society for the benefit of
individual members Authors unite their
forces, so that by strength of numbers and
combined intellect they may enlighten and
subdue an ignorant and reluctant world.
Every interest, from science and religion to
ward politics and whisky, is represented by
organized bodies. The latest, or, at least, the
most novel venture Of this kind is an associa-
ton of invalids-not, as might be supposed,
for protection against doctors and self-consti-
tuted advisers, but for the purpose of extend
ing mental and spiritual aid to each other.
For obvious reasons. the members Of
this "Shut-in Society" as it is called,
do not meet in convention, and never
see each others faces; but by means of
letters, books. papers and messages sent from
one to another help to brighten each others
hours. This society, as narrated by writer
in the New York Post, began some years ago
through the correspondence of one sick wom-
an with another more i'll, whom she desired to
comfort, and has gradually developed into an
association of 1900 members. Viewed as
mutual benefit fraternities all these societies
serve good purpose, but the strength of the
habit of organization which does not stop at
the invalid's couch suggests wonder as to
future possibilities. Can individuals accus-
toned from childhood 20 the timo when the
grave yawns for them in old age, to unite
themselves in formal opposition to
some existing order of things. be
suddenly freed from lifelong tendency
merely by transfer to another worldG Will
not the force of habit be so great to incline
them to combine against authorities and
customs cover thereY" 1t is conceivable that
even angels with individuality of character
may not find the companionship of any and
every kind of angel altogether agreeable, and,
if fresh from some benefit society, what so
natural as to organize society to which only
a preferred few shall be admitted Having so
organized, will the societies tend to the peace
of the other world or the reverse? The points
involved are important and deserve close and
calm consideration by the philosophical mind

weather is cool

that his presence among refined people is not
desirable for the reasons named, the young
man who "takes a drink when he feels like
it." should be made to understand that he is
regarded not with the liberation and maudlin
pity that once followed such good fellows"
but with contempt that has few modifica-
tions. The drinking of whisky has ceased to
be accepted as a sign of brilliancy, but is
held rather, to be mark of mental weak
ness; the drunkard is no longer an erratic
genius bit disgusting creature, even in the
early stages of his course, and the more dis
tinctly he realizes this truth the better.
